Book excerpt: Arranged for daily reading in the hectic run-up to Christmas, this book will enable us to grow more fully into a way of being that is governed more by expectancy than by urgency, more focused on God's presence today than on some imagined future. Changing the focus of our restless, busy lives takes time and for most of us will be a lifetime's work, but we venture on this journey in companionship with the God who waits with us.

Book Synopsis The Meaning is in the Waiting by : Paula Gooder

Download or read book The Meaning is in the Waiting written by Paula Gooder. This book was released on 2013-01-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of books commissioned in consultation with John Sentamu. It can be described as "The Archbishop of York's Advent book". Its theme is overtly an Advent one, yet subsequent books will range over other biblical and seasonal topics.Paula Gooder provides a profoundly biblical guide to the season of Advent and we explore its central theme of waiting (something we are not good at in our modern culture) in the company of the biblical characters who feature prominently in the lectionary readings for the season: Abraham and Sarah who waited for a child, Isaiah and the prophets who waited for judgement and redemption, John the Baptist whose role was to wait in the wilderness until the prophecies he foretold were realised, Mary whose waiting began in pregnancy and continued as she stood at the foot of the cross. Arranged for daily reading, this offers an exquisite meditation on the spirituality of waiting - the active doing of nothing - as a way of enhancing our lives and bringing us closer to God.

Book Synopsis The Village of Waiting by : George Packer

Download or read book The Village of Waiting written by George Packer. This book was released on 2015-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now restored to print with a new Foreword by Philip Gourevitch and an Afterword by the author, The Village of Waiting is a frank, moving, and vivid account of contemporary life in West Africa. Stationed as a Peace Corps instructor in the village of Lavié (the name means "wait a little more") in tiny and underdeveloped Togo, George Packer reveals his own schooling at the hands of an unforgettable array of townspeople--peasants, chiefs, charlatans, children, market women, cripples, crazies, and those who, having lost or given up much of their traditional identity and fastened their hopes on "development," find themselves trapped between the familiar repetitions of rural life and the chafing monotony of waiting for change.

Book Synopsis We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting for by : Alice Walker

Download or read book We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting for written by Alice Walker. This book was released on 2007-11-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller in hardcover, Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker’s We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For was called “stunningly insightful” and “a book that will inspire hope” by Publishers Weekly. Drawing equally on Walker’s spiritual grounding and her progressive political convictions, each chapter concludes with a recommended meditation to teach us patience, compassion, and forgiveness. We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For takes on some of the greatest challenges of our times and in it Walker encourages readers to take faith in the fact that, despite the daunting predicaments we find ourselves in, we are uniquely prepared to create positive change. The hardcover edition of We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For included a national tour that saw standing-room–only crowds and standing ovations. Walker’s clear vision and calm meditative voice—truly “a light in darkness”—has struck a deep chord among a large and devoted readership.
